Answer:
They will sound together at 2pm
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, the first thing we need to calculate is , in how many minutes will the two gongs strike together.
To be able to do this, we need to calculate the least common multiple of the two numbers 24 and 40
The lowest common multiple between both is 120
This means that the two gongs will sound together at exactly 120 minutes
Now since 1 hour is 60 minutes, this means that 120 minutes will be = 120/60 = 2 hours
Since they both sounded together at 12 noon and the next time they will be sounding is next two hours, their sounding time will thus be 12 noon + 2 hours = 2 pm
Better deal normlly means the rate that cost less
rate=cost/amount
9=cost and 3/4 bushel = amount for one store
3/4=0.75
9/0.75=12/1 aka $12/1bushel
9 =cost and 2/3 bushel =amount for another
2/3=about 0.66666
9/0.66666=13.5/1 aka $13.5/1 bushell
compare
12 dollars per bushe vs 13.5 dollar per bushel
12 is cheaper
therefor $9 For 3/4 bushel is better deal
